BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to an optical image capturing system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system which can be applied to electronic products.

Description of the Related Art

In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand for an optical image capturing system is raised gradually. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system directs towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high image quality is rapidly raised.

The traditional optical image capturing system of a portable electronic device comes with different designs, including a second-lens or a third-lens design. However, the requirement for the higher pixels and the requirement for a large aperture of an end user, like functionalities of micro filming and night view, or the requirement of wide angle of view of the portable electronic device have been raised. But the optical image capturing system with the large aperture design often produces more aberration resulting in the deterioration of quality in peripheral image formation and difficulties of manufacturing, and the optical image capturing system with wide angle of view design increases distortion rate in image formation, thus the optical image capturing system in prior arts cannot meet the requirement of the higher order camera lens module.

Therefore, how to design an optical image capturing system capable of balancing the requirement for higher total pixel count and quality of the formed image as well as the minimization of camera module by effectively increasing the amount of admitted light and the angle of view the optical image capturing system has become a pressing issue.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The aspect of embodiment of the present disclosure directs to an optical image capturing system and an optical image capturing lens which use combination of refractive powers, convex and concave surfaces of four-piece optical lenses (the convex or concave surface in the disclosure denotes the geometrical shape of an image-side surface or an object-side surface of each lens on an optical axis) to further increase the quantity of incoming light of the optical image capturing system and the angle of view of the optical lenses, and to improve the total pixels and image quality for image formation while possessing certain amount of relative illumination, so as to be applied to minimized electronic products.

In addition, when it comes to certain application field of optical imaging, there will be a need to capture image with respect to light sources having wavelengths of both visible and infrared ranges, and an example of this kind of application is the IP video surveillance camera, which is equipped with the Day & Night function. The visible light for human vision locates in wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm in the spectrum, but the image formed on the camera sensor includes the infrared light which is invisible to human eyes. Therefore, in order to ensure that the sensor retains only the visible light for human eyes eventually, an IR Cut filter Removable (ICR) may be configured before the lens of the IP video surveillance camera under certain circumstances, so as to enhance the “fidelity” of the image. The ICR of the IP video surveillance camera may completely filter out the infrared light in daytime mode so as to avoid color cast; whereas in night mode, it allows the infrared light to pass through the lens to enhance the image brightness. Nevertheless, the element of the ICR occupies a significant amount of space and is also expensive, so that being disadvantageous to the design and manufacture of the miniaturized surveillance cameras in the future.

The type of embodiment of the present disclosure simultaneously directs to an optical image capturing system and an optical image capturing lens, which utilize the refractive power of four lenses, combination of convex and concave surfaces, as well as the selection of materials thereof, so as to make the image capturing system reduce the difference between the image focal length of visible light and the image focal length of infrared light, that is, to achieve the near effect of “confocal” such that the use of ICR elements is not essential.

The characteristic diagram of Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the optical image capturing system is utilized to test and assess the contrast and sharpness of the image formation by the system. The vertical coordinate axis of the characteristic diagram of modulation transfer function represents a contrast transfer rate (values are from 0 to 1). The horizontal coordinate axis represents a spatial frequency (cycles/mm; 1p/mm; line pairs per mm). Theoretically, an ideal optical image capturing system may present 100% of the line contrast of a photographed object. However, the values of the contrast transfer rate at the vertical coordinate axis are less than 1 in actual image capturing systems. In addition, in comparison with the central region, it is generally more difficult to achieve a fine recovery in the peripheral region of image formation. The contrast transfer rates (values of MTF) of spatial frequency of 55 cycles/mm at positions of the optical axis, 0.3 field of view and 0.7 field of view of a visible light spectrum on the image plane are respectively denoted as MTFE0, MTFE3 and MTFE7. The contrast transfer rates (values of MTF) of spatial frequency of 110 cycles/mm at the optical axis, 0.3 field of view and 0.7 field of view on the image plane are respectively denoted as MTFQ0, MTFQ3 and MTFQ7. The contrast transfer rates (values of MTF) of spatial frequency of 220 cycles/mm at the optical axis, 0.3 field of view and 0.7 field of view on the image plane are respectively denoted as MTFH0, MTFH3 and MTFH7. The contrast transfer rates (values of MTF) of spatial frequency of 440 cycles/mm at the optical axis, 0.3 field of view and 0.7 field of view on the image plane are respectively denoted as MTF0, MTF3 and MTF7. The three fields of view described above represent the center, the inner field of view and the outer field of view of the lenses. Thus, they may be utilized to evaluate whether the performance of a specific optical image capturing system is excellent. If the design of the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure comprises the sensing device below 1.12 micrometers inclusive in correspondence with the pixel size, thus, the quarter spatial frequency, the half spatial frequency (half frequency) and the full spatial frequency (full frequency) of the characteristic diagram of modulation transfer function are respectively at least 110 cycles/mm, 220 cycles/mm and 440 cycles/mm.

If an optical image capturing system is simultaneously required to capture image with infrared spectrum, such as for the purpose of night vision in the low light source condition, the operation wavelength thereof may be 850 nm or 800 nm. Since the main function of night vision is to recognize silhouette of an object formed in monochrome and shade, the high resolution is not essential, and thus, a spatial frequency which is less than 110 cycles/mm may be merely selected for evaluating whether the performance of a specific optical image capturing system is excellent when the optical image capturing system is applied to the infrared spectrum. When the aforementioned wavelength of 850 nm is focused on the image plane, the contrast transfer rates (values of MTF) with a spatial frequency of 55 cycles/mm at positions of the optical axis, 0.3 field of view and 0.7 field of view on the image plane are denoted as MTFI0, MTFI3 and MTFI7, respectively. However, since the difference between infrared wavelength as 850 nm or 800 nm and general wavelength of visible light is huge, it is pretty hard to design an optical image capturing system which is capable of focusing on the visible light and the infrared light (dual-mode) simultaneously while achieving certain performance respectively.

The thickness of a single lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) particularly affects the performance in correcting the optical path difference between the rays in each field of view and correcting aberration for the shared region among the fields of view within the range of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP). The capability of aberration correction is enhanced when the thickness is greater, but the difficulty in manufacturing such lenses also increases at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to control the thickness of a single lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP), in particular, to control the proportional relationship (ETP/TP) of the thickness (ETP) of the lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) to the thickness (TP) of the lens corresponding to the surface on the optical axis.

In order to balance the enhancement of the capability of aberration correction and the reduction of the difficulty in manufacturing at the same time, it is particularly necessary to control the proportional relationship (ETP/TP) of the thickness (ETP) of the lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) to the thickness (TP) of the lens on the optical axis. For example, the thickness of the first lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) is denoted as ETP1. The thickness of the first lens on the optical axis is denoted as TP1. Thus, the ratio between both of them is denoted as ETP1/TP1. The thickness of the second lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) is denoted as ETP2. The thickness of the second lens on the optical axis is denoted as TP2. Thus, the ratio between both of them is denoted as ETP2/TP2. The proportional relationships of the thicknesses of other lenses in the optical image capturing system at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) to the thicknesses (TP) of the lenses on the optical axis are denoted according to a similar pattern. The embodiments of the present disclosure may satisfy the following formula: 0.5≤ETP/TP≤3.

A horizontal distance between two adjacent lenses at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) is denoted as ED. The horizontal distance (ED) described above is parallel with the optical axis of the optical image capturing system and particularly affects the performance in correcting the optical path difference between the rays in each field of view and in correcting aberration for the shared region among the fields of view within the range of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP). The capability of aberration correction may be enhanced when the horizontal distance becomes greater, but the difficulty in manufacturing the lenses is also increased and the degree of ‘minimization’ to the length of the optical image capturing system is also restricted at the same time. Thus, it is essential to control the horizontal distance (ED) between two specific adjacent lenses at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP).

In order to balance the enhancement of the capability of aberration correction and the reduction of the difficulty for ‘minimization’ to the length of the optical image capturing system at the same time, it is particularly necessary to control the proportional relationship (ED/IN) of the horizontal distance (ED) between the two adjacent lenses at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) to the horizontal distance (IN) between the two adjacent lenses on the optical axis. For example, the horizontal distance between the first lens and the second lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) is denoted as ED12. The horizontal distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis is denoted as IN12. The ratio between both of them is denoted as ED12/IN12. The horizontal distance between the second lens and the third lens at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) is denoted as ED23. The horizontal distance between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis is denoted as IN23. The ratio between both of them is denoted as ED23/IN23. The proportional relationships of the horizontal distances between the other two adjacent lenses in the optical image capturing system at height of ½ entrance pupil diameter (HEP) to the horizontal distances between the two adjacent lenses on the optical axis are denoted according to a similar pattern.

The horizontal distance in parallel with the optical axis from a coordinate point on the image-side surface of the fourth lens at the height of ½ HEP to the image plane is denoted as EBL. The horizontal distance in parallel with the optical axis from the intersection point of the optical axis and the image-side surface of the fourth lens to the image plane is denoted as BL. In order to balance the enhancement of the capability of aberration correction and the reservation of accommodation space for other optical elements, the embodiment of the present disclosure may satisfy the following formula: 0.2≤EBL/BL≤1.1. The optical image capturing system may further include a light filtering element, which is located between the fourth lens and the image plane. A distance in parallel with the optical axis from a coordinate point on the image-side surface of the fourth lens at height of ½ HEP to the light filtering element is denoted as EIR. A distance in parallel with the optical axis from an intersection point of the optical axis and the image-side surface of the fourth lens to the light filtering element is denoted as PIR. The embodiments of the present disclosure may satisfy the following formula: 0.2≤EIR/PIR≤0.8.

The optical image capturing system described above may be configured to form the image on the image sensing device which is shorter than 1/1.2 inch in diagonal length. Preferably, the size of the image sensing device is 1/2.3 inch. The pixel size of the image sensing device is smaller than 1.4 micrometers (μm). Preferably, the pixel size thereof is smaller than 1.12 micrometers (μm). The best pixel size thereof is smaller than 0.9 micrometers (μm). Furthermore, the optical image capturing system is applicable to the image sensing device with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

The optical image capturing system described above is applicable to the demands of video recording with above millions or ten-millions pixels (e.g. 4K and 2K videos or the so-called UHD and QHD) and simultaneously possess a good image quality.

The height of optical system (HOS) may be appropriately reduced so as to achieve the minimization of the optical image capturing system, when |f1|>f4.

When the relationship |f2|+|f3|>|f1|+|f4| is met, at least one of the second to third lenses may have the weak positive refractive power or weak negative refractive power. The aforementioned weak refractive power indicates that an absolute value of the focal length of a specific lens is greater than 10. When at least one of the second to third lenses has the weak positive refractive power, the positive refractive power of the first lens may be shared, such that preventing the unnecessary aberration from appearing too early. On the contrary, when at least one of the second to third lenses has the weak negative refractive power, the aberration of the optical image capturing system may be corrected and fine-tuned.

The fourth lens may have the positive refractive power. Besides, at least one surface of the fourth lens may possess at least one inflection point, which is capable of effective reducing the incident angle of the off-axis FOV rays, thereby further correcting the off-axis FOV aberration.
